The tour was really good and exceeded my expectations. It was a good balance of everything - learning the history of la Comuna 13, Medellin and the infamous Pablo Escobar. Daniel was very knowledgeable and I appreciated his friendliness. I left the tour with a greater love for Colombia and Medellin. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Medellin with a great guide.

We had a private tour of Comuna 13 with Esteban for my birthday, and it was a really fun day. Communication before the tour was fantastic. Esteban took us to a few places before we went for a ride on a cable car and headed into the neighborhood. He was hilarious and we had a lot of fun hanging out the whole day. He recommended street food to try and aguardiente shots for my birthday and tried to help me find the perfect gift for myself haha. Would recommend this tour and Esteban 100%!
